A lot has gone right for the New England Patriots in the 2025 campaign. The play of Drake Maye under center is certainly high up on that list, but over the past few weeks, it’s been hard to ignore the play of rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson.
With Rhamondre Stevenson missing time due to a toe injury, that forced Henderson to take on more responsibility in the month of November. In the team’s four games during the month, Henderson racked up 330 yards and four touchdowns on the ground, while also catching 13 passes for 81 yards and another score....

In his first season with the New England Patriots, things have gone quite well for Stefon Diggs. On the field, he’s been Drake Maye’s top target in the passing game, and off the field, he’s found himself in a highly publicized relationship with popular hip-hop artist Cardi B.
Through 13 games, Diggs has caught 64 passes for 705 yards and three touchdowns, helping the Pats race out to an 11-2 record. Along the way, Cardi B has been vocal in her support of Diggs, and the couple recently welcomed their first child together back in November.
Considering how she is...

The New England Patriots’ possible first playoff berth in four seasons and their potential first AFC East title in six years apparently aren’t the only things on the line during the team’s Week 15 clash with the Buffalo Bills.
NFL senior writer Vic Tafur of The Athletic opined Thursday that if New England were to lose to Josh Allen and company on Sunday, quarterback Drake Maye’s MVP candidacy would “essentially end.”
“A win by Allen’s Bills on Sunday would essentially end Patriots quarterback Drake Maye’s MVP chances (Matthew Stafford is likely going to win anyway),” Tafur said.
He went on...

In recent weeks, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has emerged as one of the NFL’s top MVP candidates. He isn’t the only person in town making a push for an end-of-the-season award, though.
Through 13 games this season, Maye has thrown for 3,412 yards and 23 touchdowns, helping New England coast to an 11-2 record. And while Maye has to go out and deliver the goods under center, he isn’t the only person responsible for the team’s success.
In his first year as the team’s head coach, Mike Vrabel has played a major role in the Pats’ stunning turnaround...

The 11-2 New England Patriots play host to the 9-4 Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. With a win, the Patriots could clinch the AFC East for the first time since 2019, when they were crowned champions for the 11th year in a row.
The spread for Sunday’s game opened at -1.5 for the Bills and has remained there all week.
Head coach Mike Vrabel on Wednesday was asked about “the people in Las Vegas” who have the Patriots as an underdog.
“Who are the people, Ben?” Vrabel asked the reporter.
“I guess the oddsmakers,” the reporter said.
“There you go,...

NFL fans don’t know yet if eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback Philip Rivers will be starting for the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks, less than one week after coming out of retirement.
After losing starter Daniel Jones to a torn Achilles in Week 14 and seeing backup Riley Leonard suffer a knee injury as well, the Colts brought Rivers in for a workout on Monday and signed him to their practice squad on Tuesday.
New England Patriots signal-caller Drake Maye talked about Rivers’ comeback on Wednesday. He discussed how the 17-year veteran helped him and a pair...

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel believes the Buffalo Bills are a much different team since the last time they played.
The Patriots went on the road to Buffalo in Week 5 on Oct. 5 and picked up a 23-20 upset win. Since then, Buffalo’s offense has looked much different, as the Bills are relying more on the tight ends in the passing game, while their defense has also looked better.
Although New England won on the road, Vrabel isn’t looking back on that game as he believes the Bills are a much different team.
“They’ve changed, they’ve continued...

The Patriots’ first Week 15 injury report contained good and bad news for New England’s banged-up offensive line.
Let’s start with the good: Rookie left guard Jared Wilson was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice after sitting out Week 13 due to an ankle injury. Wilson, who started at left guard for 11 of the first 12 games, seemingly is on track to return for this Sunday’s home game against the Buffalo Bills.
However, veteran Ben Brown played well in place of Wilson against the Giants, so the Patriots could start him against Buffalo. We’ll just have to wait and...

Shortly after being hired as the head coach of the New England Patriots, Mike Vrabel stood in front of his team during their first full squad meeting with one goal in mind.
“Vrabes said we’re gonna go win the division,” cornerback Christian Gonzalez said.
Months later, as the Patriots take the field on Sunday, they have a chance to do exactly that — and they’ll do so in a matchup against AFC East rival Buffalo Bills.
“They’ve won the division for five years,” quarterback Drake Maye said. “So, we’ve got something that we need to go take, and we know...

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen believes the team’s secret weapon could be let loose against the New England Patriots on Sunday.
With the Bills’ offense struggling, Buffalo signed veteran receiver Brandin Cooks on Nov. 25 to bring in another veteran receiver.
Since joining the Bills, Cooks hasn’t had a major role, but Allen said the two are in a good spot. He also said Cooks is flying around in practice, which could mean he’s due for a big game against the Patriots on Sunday.
“Yeah, I think we’re in a really good spot,” Allen said of Cooks on Wednesday. “He...

Even though they have one of the most talented throwers the NFL has ever seen under center, the Buffalo Bills are one of the run-heaviest teams in all of football this season. Entering their Week 15 showdown with the New England Patriots, the team of head coach Sean McDermott is ranked second in the league in rushing attempts.
Volume is not the only strength the Bills’ ground game brings to the table. The group is also quite efficient, ranking first in the NFL in yards per attempt (5.1) while totaling a league-high 2,051 rush yards.
For the Patriots, stopping Buffalo’s...
